If the entire tension in the 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith — starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — rested on John and Jane Smith successfully hiding their assassin identities from each other, a new web series coming up on Prime Video drama will thrill us with everything that can happen if the couple go for their kill as a team.

The trailer of the web series Mr & Mrs Smith, dropped by Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, shows Donald Glover and Maya Erskine slipping into the cool shoes of Pitt and Jolie.

The two-minute-11-seconder introduces two lonely strangers — John (Grover) and Jane (Erskine) — who land a job at a spy agency that promises them a dream life of espionage and world tours. To minimise attention from their enemies, the two assassins enter into an arranged marriage and take on the identities of Mr and Mrs Smith.

While working on their high-risk missions, John and Jane find their relationship milestones slipping. They visit a therapist where the couple struggle to open up about their real jobs, resulting in hilarious situations (a cute nod to Pitt and Jolie’s funny sessions at the shrink’s in the original).

The trailer promises fast-paced action, with a lot of scenes of the duo ducking bullets and running away from buildings being blown up thrown in.

Mr & Mrs Smith also stars Parker Posey, Wagner Moura, Michaela Cole, John Turturro and Paul Dano. Alongside headlining the series, Glover is also a producer on the series; it is his latest project with Prime Video after the satirical comedy horror show Swarm.

The first season of Mr & Mrs Smith will premiere on Prime Video on February 2.
